:00:15. > :00:20.Hello and welcome to your Tuesday evening One Show with Alex Jones...
:00:21. > :00:23.And Matt Baker. Tonight's the night when elite sportsmen and women
:00:24. > :00:26.anxiously wait to disover if they have been nominated for the most
:00:27. > :00:29.prestigous sports award there is. Very shortly we'll be exclusively
:00:30. > :00:33.unveiling the short list of ten for Sports Personality of the Year, and
:00:34. > :00:34.we're doing it in the company of a woman who has this remarkable
:00:35. > :01:12.performance under her belt. Please welcome Anne Read! That was
:01:13. > :01:19.jive, but it's The Last Tango In Halifax she's starring in! Please
:01:20. > :01:27.welcome Anne Reid. Anne - it looks like you really enjoy performing
:01:28. > :01:31.alongside Derek Jacobi? What sports were you good at? I could lay
:01:32. > :01:36.hockey, I could hit the ball really hard but I could not run. It would
:01:37. > :01:46.have to have been ice-skating. I did it for a bit. And I have still got
:01:47. > :01:55.boots and skates. We might see you on Dancing On Ice. Can we have the
:01:56. > :01:59.theme tune, please? Last year 's list was dominated by outstanding
:02:00. > :02:03.Olympic and Paralympic athletes, but it was Bradley Wiggins who clinched
:02:04. > :02:06.the title for 2012. Now, Phil Tufnell and his friend the sports
:02:07. > :02:12.artist old Trevelyan have the first five names in the frame for this
:02:13. > :02:17.years Sports Personality of the Year award. This is the first one, the
:02:18. > :02:22.toughest one of all. You start him off with his jaw line. He has got
:02:23. > :02:27.these whiskers, like barbed wire. This does his hair justice. He is
:02:28. > :02:34.coming alive, he could walk on water. Sir Ben Ainslie masterminded
:02:35. > :02:39.an astonishing comeback to win the America's Cup, the first British
:02:40. > :02:42.sailor in 110 years to be part of the winning crew. But he faces tough
:02:43. > :02:49.competition from our next nominee. Now, he has got a small nose but it
:02:50. > :02:54.smells out danger. He has got to have that had, that badge, the three
:02:55. > :03:00.Lions. This cricketer was more handy with the bat than you were, Tuffers.
:03:01. > :03:07.Ian Bell's Britvic form saw him being named as Man Of The Series as
:03:08. > :03:11.England retained the Ashes. The next one, she is so fast on the track,
:03:12. > :03:16.you cannot believe it. I am going to do the golden hair. It flows just as
:03:17. > :03:26.easily as she flows along the track. It is amazing, she travels so fast
:03:27. > :03:30.but it is always in place. It is hammock up rough, who got double
:03:31. > :03:34.gold in the Paralympics, and did the same again in the World Athletics
:03:35. > :03:40.Championships. She is fast, but so is this guy. This man is so
:03:41. > :03:48.powerful, he demands aid the pen. The king of the long-distance
:03:49. > :03:58.running. When he enters a race, it is who comes second. You know him
:03:59. > :04:01.from the hands on the head. Mo Farah became the second man in history to
:04:02. > :04:09.win both Olympic and World Championship gold medals in the
:04:10. > :04:15.5000m and the 10,000m, a record breaker, like our next nominee. This
:04:16. > :04:21.guy burns rubber, and he has one of the widest smiles in sport. He has
:04:22. > :04:25.got very sharp ears, he has to have, because he is listening for the
:04:26. > :04:30.other cyclists behind, and they are miles behind, so he never hears
:04:31. > :04:34.them. This guy is a very modest winner, the sort of fellow you might
:04:35. > :04:39.pass on the street, but you are never, ever going to pass him on the
:04:40. > :04:47.road. Chris Froome became only the second Briton after Sir Bradley
:04:48. > :04:51.Wiggins to good work. Five to go. Stay tuned, the rest of the nominees
:04:52. > :04:56.will be coming up later. And please get your cameras at the ready
:04:57. > :04:59.because we want your help. Yes, we want to find The One Show sports
:05:00. > :05:06.personalities. Who is the sporting hero in your household? Send your
:05:07. > :05:09.pictures in, maybe with an egg and spoon or just looking triumphant,
:05:10. > :05:15.and say why you think they should be nominated. Tonight, the new series
:05:16. > :05:22.of Last Tango In Halifax continues on BBC One. It follows the love
:05:23. > :05:26.lives of Alan and Celia, to childhood sweethearts who get
:05:27. > :05:37.reunited in their 70s. And tonight, it is the wedding. David has agreed
:05:38. > :05:45.to be our other witness. This is Celia. Do you know how long this is
:05:46. > :05:50.going to take, half an hour, 20 minutes? About that, yes. I wonder
:05:51. > :05:56.if you would be better off finding someone else. Is he on duty? He
:05:57. > :06:01.should not be wasting time in a registry office if he is on duty.
:06:02. > :06:06.All right, would you be all right if you find somebody else, grandad? I
:06:07. > :06:18.will have two, but what if I gave you a ?20 note? Oh, well, yes, OK!
:06:19. > :06:21.It has got such a lovely tempo. I have never seen that. For those that
:06:22. > :06:29.have not been watching, why the big secret? Well, we just do not want a
:06:30. > :06:34.fuss, basically, and because Alan has had a heart attack, and he says
:06:35. > :06:40.he is going to grab life now, we're not going to waste any more time,
:06:41. > :06:46.and so, we rush off to do it. We do not really discuss, he just says, I
:06:47. > :06:52.do not want to tell anybody. And so we go off in that wonderful car.
:06:53. > :06:59.Were you pleased with what you just saw? Yes, it is always a bit weird
:07:00. > :07:07.the first time, as I do not look anything like I think I do. When you
:07:08. > :07:12.see photographs, you know, I am much, much fatter than I am in real
:07:13. > :07:17.life. From the outside, Last Tango In Halifax looks like quite a cosy
:07:18. > :07:28.drama, beautiful scenery of Yorkshire, but actually there are
:07:29. > :07:35.some quite shocking storylines yes, that is how Sally writes, she writes
:07:36. > :07:39.about life, and life is like that. Obviously, there were lots of
:07:40. > :07:42.different scenarios in the first series which set the bar at a
:07:43. > :07:46.certain level, so, you must have been very keen to look at the
:07:47. > :07:50.scripts for the second series, so was there any stress in trying to
:07:51. > :07:53.live up to it? Yes, there is, because you do not want to
:07:54. > :07:58.disappoint the public. The first time we just went and said, these
:07:59. > :08:03.are good scripts, they do not drop onto the mat every day, plots like
:08:04. > :08:07.that. And so it was just very exciting just and then when it went
:08:08. > :08:12.out and people started coming up to me in the street, and you thought,
:08:13. > :08:17.hello, we have got something a bit special here. You do not know it,
:08:18. > :08:21.but then, the second one, you have to think, we must put that out of
:08:22. > :08:26.our heads and we must just do it the same way. Because I have seen actors
:08:27. > :08:30.who, in the second series, suddenly start kind of showing off, do you
:08:31. > :08:36.know what I mean? There is a subtle difference, and we just have to try
:08:37. > :08:40.and go for the second one the way we did with the first one. And such has
:08:41. > :08:47.been the success, you have won a handful of award, including an RTS
:08:48. > :08:51.award, and then the Gransnet award. You are not so keen on that one,
:08:52. > :08:58.were you? No, it is all right! But I was thrilled with the RTS award. No,
:08:59. > :09:04.it is all good. We had Esther Rantzen on last night, she was
:09:05. > :09:09.launching Silver Line, which is a befriending service. And really, I
:09:10. > :09:14.guess Last Tango In Halifax, it gives an example that life does not
:09:15. > :09:19.end when you get older, you can keep going. I know, I am getting rather
:09:20. > :09:24.boring talking about this, but you will not know, you young kids, until
:09:25. > :09:27.you actually get there, and you will think, now we know what she was
:09:28. > :09:32.talking about. I do not feel any different. I still feel 45, but
:09:33. > :09:40.people keep saying, would you like to sit down? And can you get up the
:09:41. > :09:48.stairs? Annoying. Yes, I get really cross. We asked for your stories of
:09:49. > :09:57.love the second time around. And this is a bit sad. We met at school
:09:58. > :10:01.in the early 60s. We dated, I ended up two timing her, which she was not
:10:02. > :10:06.very pleased about. Then we went our separate ways. Yes, we both got
:10:07. > :10:10.divorced. I had thought about it many times over the years, but it
:10:11. > :10:15.was 11 years before we met again, totally by chance. Unbeknown to me,
:10:16. > :10:20.and I was living in Birmingham, 120 miles away, she was visiting her
:10:21. > :10:26.brother. I was going down to the local shop and she was there. We
:10:27. > :10:35.recognised each other straightaway. And we have been together now 44
:10:36. > :10:41.years, since 1979. So, we met in 1994. We were both working I plucked
:10:42. > :10:45.up courage to ask her out for lunch. For months and four days later, we
:10:46. > :10:51.got married. Two lovely children, we had Harry who is now 18 and Joe, who
:10:52. > :10:55.is now 14. We were married for nine years, and then it was work
:10:56. > :11:00.commitments etc and we ended up separating. We ended up hating each
:11:01. > :11:04.other. Yes, we went through a difficult couple of years. Because
:11:05. > :11:12.of the boys, we maintained a relationship together. And gradually
:11:13. > :11:15.we began to become friends again. We had a few glasses of wine and then
:11:16. > :11:19.we ended up having a case in the kitchen and it went on from there.
:11:20. > :11:23.Yes, but you think about, do you want to go through this again? What
:11:24. > :11:27.is best for the children? You do not want to build their hopes up. Then
:11:28. > :11:32.on my 40th birthday, we got married for the second time. We then had our
:11:33. > :11:35.third child, for Charlie, who is now aged five. Very happily married now,
:11:36. > :11:50.aren't we? It was in the year 1974 when we
:11:51. > :11:56.met. We just knew we loved each other. And then one day my brother
:11:57. > :12:02.found my letters from Viv, which were quite, you know, intimate, and
:12:03. > :12:08.handed them over to my parents. I was not allowed to see Viv any more,
:12:09. > :12:16.so I wrote this awful letter to Viv, saying how I did not love her
:12:17. > :12:23.any more, and... And that was that, I never, ever saw Viv again from
:12:24. > :12:29.that... I was married at the age of 19. After my marriage split up, for
:12:30. > :12:34.obvious reasons, I decided to go and find Maria. I went to her old
:12:35. > :12:38.address, only to find that she had moved. We were apart for 34 years,
:12:39. > :12:44.and then, out of the blue, I got a message on Facebook from a friend of
:12:45. > :12:51.ours, and he said, we are having a reunion. We walked into this pub,
:12:52. > :12:55.and sitting on this chair was Maria. We knew as soon as we saw each other
:12:56. > :13:03.rugby we knew we were in big trouble. We have been married now
:13:04. > :13:12.2.5 years. And enjoyed every little bit of it, absolutely.
:13:13. > :13:21.Thank you! Thanks to everybody who shared their stories with us. We can
:13:22. > :13:29.only show a few. I could watch that all-night. Oh, to find somebody to
:13:30. > :13:34.spend your life with, that is your first love, can we mention it? The
:13:35. > :13:38.first love, I was seven years old, and I fell deeply in love with a
:13:39. > :13:43.little boy called Raymond, who grew up to be a doctor. I used to sit on
:13:44. > :13:48.my three wheeled bicycle and go round and round in circles outside
:13:49. > :13:52.his house until he came out. He had beautiful, long eyelashes and I used
:13:53. > :13:56.to follow him around on the bus. I do not know what happened to him,
:13:57. > :14:03.but that was my first experience of falling in love. More headlines now.
:14:04. > :14:10.Just over two hours ago, Britain's newest TV channel was switched on in
:14:11. > :14:13.Grimsby. It is paving the way for the roll-out of similar ultra-local
:14:14. > :14:20.channels next year. John wonders whether it will get on better than
:14:21. > :14:31.last time they tried it but Jungmark -- they tried it? If this is your
:14:32. > :14:35.sort of telly, 2013 is an exciting year because the first of a new
:14:36. > :14:41.batch of local channels is being launched. The stations will serve
:14:42. > :14:46.individual towns and cities. Is that a new idea? Not exactly. This is
:14:47. > :14:55.Sheffield. And in the 1970s it had its own dedicated television
:14:56. > :15:01.channel. Launched in August 1973, it was one of five granted experimental
:15:02. > :15:05.licenses to see whether ultra-local TV would work. Staffed largely by
:15:06. > :15:11.enthusiastic amateurs, parts of its schedule were very odd indeed. Today
:15:12. > :15:21.we will continue with our regular feature articles looking into the
:15:22. > :15:28.occult and other devious subjects. I presented a children's programme
:15:29. > :15:37.called hullabaloo. My home address is wrecking to an cemetery. I was in
:15:38. > :15:43.sport. We would go out and broadcast Speedway, we would do football. I
:15:44. > :15:47.took them to the old studios, which are now student flats. Why was
:15:48. > :15:53.Sheffield chosen for this? It already had a cable network. For
:15:54. > :15:56.technical reasons, people living in the lower areas of Sheffield
:15:57. > :16:01.couldn't get a signal on a TV aerial. We serve 100,000 people in
:16:02. > :16:04.those days. It was pretty much make it was pretty much make-up as you go
:16:05. > :16:11.along. Unfortunately, we've just missed the final of the best turned
:16:12. > :16:16.out horse and rider. It was a caper every day. On some occasions the
:16:17. > :16:20.cameras were sagging on their stand as you are presenting, you had to
:16:21. > :16:24.sink down to stay on the level of the camera. But amidst the
:16:25. > :16:32.collapsing cameras, the station covered serious issues. Most
:16:33. > :16:35.strikingly when their journalist managed to capture on camera the
:16:36. > :16:48.forcible eviction of a family from their council home. This was tough
:16:49. > :16:53.local journalism. It gave people a voice. Television by the people for
:16:54. > :17:00.the people. And the people paid 11p a week. They got a mixed bag of
:17:01. > :17:06.entertainment. Russ Abbott did it, just like that. This will kill you.
:17:07. > :17:12.Eurovision winners brotherhood of man displayed harmonies and find
:17:13. > :17:18.mullet hairstyles. And in the 70s it was still OK to local beauty queens
:17:19. > :17:26.in swimsuits. Local advertising raised some money. A girls best
:17:27. > :17:29.friend, ?50 of top-quality sewing machines. But after three years the
:17:30. > :17:35.station had closed, there wasn't enough money to keep it going. Now,
:17:36. > :17:39.few people remember its glory days. But today, for one day only, we are
:17:40. > :17:44.presenting the good people of Sheffield with a reminder of the
:17:45. > :17:50.bold but failed experiment. Among them is David Watkins. As a teenager
:17:51. > :17:55.in the 70s, he was a keen viewer. I enjoyed it. You were watching people
:17:56. > :18:04.around the corner, as opposed to people in leads or Manchester. Miles
:18:05. > :18:16.away. Here is another report compiled on roadworks in and around
:18:17. > :18:22.the Sheffield area. I'm afraid you will have to go, we have a
:18:23. > :18:28.combination for you. It definitely felt like it came out of Sheffield.
:18:29. > :18:32.It was interesting to see Sheffield how it used to be. Clearly the
:18:33. > :18:37.station was ahead of its time, but those behind the new station which
:18:38. > :18:40.launches next year, they are convinced that people in Sheffield
:18:41. > :18:44.on the 21st century still want to know what's going on down their
:18:45. > :18:48.street. We did some research before we went for the licence. It was
:18:49. > :18:52.coming up again and again, people wanted to have local news and local
:18:53. > :18:57.current affairs being covered on the station. I really enjoyed the old
:18:58. > :19:01.footage, it was rough, funny and charming. But the new Sheffield TV
:19:02. > :19:08.station will have its work cut out. Because in 40 years we've come a
:19:09. > :19:13.long way from skateboarding ducks. Russ, funny and charming. Join joins
:19:14. > :19:16.us now to tell us about the new local channels coming our way, along
:19:17. > :19:24.with someone who started out on local cable, Carol Kirkwood. I
:19:25. > :19:30.didn't know that. We saw it failed there. Why is there a chance it will
:19:31. > :19:34.succeed this time? We've got 70 more digital channels, so it's easy
:19:35. > :19:38.enough for anyone to say, well, I'll have another channel. Why not a
:19:39. > :19:43.local TV channel? It started in Grimsby and by the end of next year
:19:44. > :19:47.there will be 19 of these local TV channels right across the country
:19:48. > :19:54.forced and eventually the Government are hoping that there will be in
:19:55. > :19:58.all. By the end of next year this is what they will look like. Belfast,
:19:59. > :20:06.Glasgow, London, leads, Liverpool. It will be quite a change. That a 12
:20:07. > :20:14.year licence. Will there be anybody watching us? That's a good point.
:20:15. > :20:19.How is this paid for? It was 11p a week previously. The BBC are putting
:20:20. > :20:22.up ?25 million, they are also getting advertising. There were some
:20:23. > :20:25.advertising in the past but nothing like what they are hoping for now.
:20:26. > :20:32.It's a question of having lots of volunteers. Was that the case for
:20:33. > :20:36.you, did you do everything? Absolutely everything, and I worked
:20:37. > :20:40.for nothing to stop with. I did the production, research, presenting,
:20:41. > :20:43.found the interviewees and then interviewed them. The only thing I
:20:44. > :20:49.didn't do where the cameras and directing it. Look at you there! You
:20:50. > :20:57.haven't changed a bit, you look lovely! But tell us who the other
:20:58. > :21:01.guy was. That was the very lovely Sasha Baron Cohen. Funnily enough,
:21:02. > :21:06.in the office he was really quite quiet and shy, but he had an alter
:21:07. > :21:11.ego, as we now know. When he was on television he just came alive, but
:21:12. > :21:23.he was such a gent. A hotbed for talent. I don't know about you but I
:21:24. > :21:27.do love a Carol. If I ever miss the country Fire weather forecast, it is
:21:28. > :21:30.Carol's every time. She never it wrong. I actually meant a Christmas
:21:31. > :21:44.Carol. Right. And if you like them, too,
:21:45. > :21:54.here is carry with details of how you can get involved.
:21:55. > :21:58.Christmas is a time for Christmas carols. Yes, those wonderful songs
:21:59. > :22:03.that have been around for centuries. Now the One Show is dragging that
:22:04. > :22:14.tradition into the 21st-century, and we want you to help. This is a
:22:15. > :22:17.virtual choir. Created by ground-breaking musician Eric
:22:18. > :22:21.Whittaker. Hundreds of people from across the world film themselves on
:22:22. > :22:26.their webcams while singing a piece of his music. Eric then combine
:22:27. > :22:30.their individual performances to make a choir. We thought it was such
:22:31. > :22:34.a great idea that the One Show should give it a go. So this
:22:35. > :22:48.Christmas we are uniting Britain in song with a virtual Carol concert.
:22:49. > :22:53.# Hark the Herald Angels sing... We've chosen the well-known classic,
:22:54. > :22:57.Hark the Herald Angels sing. We've been busy recording a life backing
:22:58. > :23:09.track with four guide vocalists. When you guys suddenly go... That's
:23:10. > :23:13.touching me now, yes! We've done lots of virtual stuff and
:23:14. > :23:15.our boffins have put it on the website, where it's waiting for you
:23:16. > :23:28.to add your voices. Don't worry, it's easy. You won't
:23:29. > :23:34.need an A-level in computers. All you have to do is follow Santa's six
:23:35. > :23:38.steps to successful singing. One, locate a computer with a webcam.
:23:39. > :23:48.Make sure your face is lit. And that there is no background noise, such
:23:49. > :23:52.as sleigh bells! Two, go to the One Show's website and follow the link
:23:53. > :24:02.to our virtual Carol concert page. Three, choose a video. Soprano,
:24:03. > :24:03.alto, tenor or bass, whichever suits your voice. Four, practice singing
:24:04. > :24:14.to the track. Five, when you are ready to record,
:24:15. > :24:22.plug in some headphones, click on record. Our clever website will film
:24:23. > :24:25.your performance. Six, when you've finished you can check your
:24:26. > :24:32.performance back. If you are happy, click submit. We will then combine
:24:33. > :24:35.as many of your videos as we can to create a virtual concert that will
:24:36. > :24:40.be shown on the One Show just before Christmas. This is a first for the
:24:41. > :24:46.BBC, so we really want you to join in and make it a success. You've got
:24:47. > :24:52.until the 1st of December, and it is open to anyone 18 or over.
:24:53. > :25:09.Wow! If you do want to get involved, sign up at this address.
:25:10. > :25:14.Here is Phil and artist Paul Trevillion with the remaining five
:25:15. > :25:21.Sports Personality of the Year nominees. It's round two. I need a
:25:22. > :25:27.new pen. This guy has got the mightiest kick in Rugby, and he made
:25:28. > :25:33.the Lions roar. He's got the Rugby face, that short nose, the eyes that
:25:34. > :25:36.look, and they dare you to run towards him. You can use up a whole
:25:37. > :25:51.pen just doing this man's hair. Welsh Rugby union Lee Halfpenny was
:25:52. > :25:56.man of the series on the victorious tour of Australia. Who's next? This
:25:57. > :26:00.guy is as light as a feather. If he didn't run around in the shower he
:26:01. > :26:06.wouldn't get wet. He's got really high cheekbones. I shouldn't go
:26:07. > :26:11.back, I've already drawn. I'm going to go back. You never see him
:26:12. > :26:18.without wearing one of these. It is part of him. But he has to be seen
:26:19. > :26:23.wearing one of these. Broken ribs didn't slow down champion jockey a P
:26:24. > :26:28.McCoy. By November, he had witnessed his 4000th winner. Up next, and
:26:29. > :26:34.other champ. He's a Scotsman but he's not one for the bagpipes. This
:26:35. > :26:39.is one for swinging the Claymore. He plays with a vengeance. You have to
:26:40. > :26:44.get the mouth right to get the man. You get the eyes and then you get
:26:45. > :26:50.the mouth. You are halfway there. Then you've got to blacken the
:26:51. > :26:55.eyebrows. This is his character. I'm not going to do his hair tidy,
:26:56. > :27:03.because he wouldn't be the man. Its game, set and match. In July, Andy
:27:04. > :27:07.Murray ended Britain's 77 year wait for a men's singles Wimbledon
:27:08. > :27:14.champion. The next nominee is also top of her game. It's a face that
:27:15. > :27:21.was meant to grace the winners rostrum will stop watch the hair.
:27:22. > :27:27.Just watch it, it's moving, look! I can't believe it, I just have to...
:27:28. > :27:31.Look at it! Now you see the vibrant personality, the pen is running away
:27:32. > :27:38.with me because that is the measure of the girl. That pen is on fire!
:27:39. > :27:44.Christine Ohuruogu is the first British woman to win two world
:27:45. > :27:50.championship gold medals, a winner like our final nominee. In a lot of
:27:51. > :27:54.sports stars the eyebrows are very strong, very distinctive. They tell
:27:55. > :27:59.a lot about their character. He's got a very, very thin top lip,
:28:00. > :28:04.there's nothing there. But if you get it right, you've got the man.
:28:05. > :28:09.And that man is Justin Rose, the first Englishman to win a golf major
:28:10. > :28:13.since 1996 with his victory at the US Open. Winning Sports Personality
:28:14. > :28:14.of the Year would be the icing on the cake, but look at the
:28:15. > :28:30.competition. Good luck to all of the nominees.
:28:31. > :28:36.Earlier, we asked you to send in your sporting heroes from your own
:28:37. > :28:43.household. We've got Dexter, aged five, from Huddersfield. He has
:28:44. > :28:46.completed ten five K runs so far. Bethany from Wales, this is her
:28:47. > :28:52.little brother, Ollie, getting his man of the match award from his
:28:53. > :28:59.coach. This is Harriet, aged nine, after her first game of rugby. This
:29:00. > :29:06.is Johnny from Cheshire. No doubt he sent it in himself. We will be back
:29:07. > :29:11.tomorrow with Gary Barlow and Miranda Hart. See you then, goodbye!
